Mike, Have you finished this? The system you are loading in is only 125 Meg. Won't the Raspberry PI load from a USB thumb drive? It looks like you are just copying the files from your source drive to the Rasberry. HM On 03/14/2015 06:45 PM, Walter Mack wrote: It only means that dd will tra

The difference seems to be whether or not you intended it to run. there is also some issue with nacl and nacl-helper that comes about with Google's development process. I did not understand the references. On 03/14/2015 02:47 PM, Michael Havens wrote: oh well, along as nothing nefarious is happ
